Introduction
This guide is based around the concept of making each old alias into a line of text. When your alias history is viewed, it will display each line of text in order to form a paragraph. For example:




Step 1: Making Your Paragraph
First we need to make a paragraph that we want featured in our alias history. For it to work, we need to follow two guidelines:

  • Each line of text we assign to an alias must be 32 characters or less.
  • Our paragraph must take up 9 lines or less. The 10th line is for our actual username.

For writing each line of your paragraph, feel free to use this site: https://charactercounttool.com
For the text used in the example image, use this site: http://megaemoji.com/generators/smallcaps
NOTE: Using special fonts cut your character limit for each username by about half.

Limiting each line of text to 32 characters can be tricky, but your end result should be similar to this:




Note: Paragraphs Shorter than 9 Lines
If you finish your paragraph without using all 9 lines, you can make any remaining lines show up as blank at the end of the paragraph. I suggest doing the following steps before moving on:

  1. Figure out how many more lines your paragraph needs before reaching 9 lines.
    ғᴏʀ ᴇxᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ, ᴀ 4 ʟɪɴᴇ ᴘᴀʀᴀɢʀᴀᴘʜ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ɴᴇᴇᴅ 5 ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ 9.

  2. Copy this pastebin character: https://pastebin.com/Ri7QfSST
    ʀɪɢʜᴛ ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ɪɴsɪᴅᴇ ʀᴀᴡ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ > ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ ᴀʟʟ > ʀɪɢʜᴛ ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ > ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴄᴏᴘʏ

  3. Paste it twice as your username and click save. This creates one blank line.

  4. Keep doing step 2, adding an additional pastebin character each time you save.

  5. Do this until your blank lines would equate to 9 lines if added to your paragraph lines.

Step 2: Uploading
To have each paragraph line in the correct order when viewing your alias history, start by changing your username to the very last line in your paragraph. Now change your username to the second to last line, then the third to last line, and so on.

Continue doing this, making sure you start from the end of the paragraph and end at the beginning.
After a few username changes, Steam will have you wait a bit. It isn't very long, so don't worry.

After making all 9 username changes to paragraph lines, change your username back to your actual Steam username. If you followed the steps correctly, your alias history will display your paragraph.

This doesn't work, can't add a name longer than 15 characters and lower caps words use the double amount of characters.

Thanks 󠀡󠀡lumpyoatmeal, was frustated trying to figure out what's the deal here.
Checked the comments and switched over to the ordinary font. :nekoheart:

then you should take that out of your guide, or change it to mention that smallcaps cuts you off at 15 characters, considering you say "here's how to get this font"
